728.

The day after the mock battle.

The students who had been in the infirmary ward only returned to the Clock Tower Dormitory in the evening.

Seeing this, Cal made a puzzled expression.

“Hey, Chelsea. What kept you in the infirmary for nearly two full days?”

Most of Lumern’s classes were practice-oriented.

As such, injuries were inevitably always a consequence, and the best doctors and healers were always on standby in the infirmary.

Lumern’s medical technology was so advanced that there was a saying that as long as someone had a breath of life left, they could be saved no matter how severe the injury.

Since no students had broken bones or anything in the mock battle, he had thought they would return in the morning.

But the students who had been treated in the infirmary only returned to the dormitory after a full day and a half.

“Were you hurt worse than expected?”

When Cal asked with a puzzled face, Chelsea sighed.

“No. Everyone seemed to have overexerted themselves and was complaining of subtle dizziness.”

“Hmm? Aftereffects of mana depletion?”

“Yeah. It seemed a bit severe.”

“I see. That must have been tough.”

It was when Cal was nodding his head.

“There it is!”

“Stop right there!”

[Uwahahahahaha!]

The freshmen were running frantically, each holding butterfly nets in their hands.

Normally, it would be unimaginable for them to run around shouting loudly in the common lounge full of upperclassmen.

But this time, no one stopped the freshmen.

Because what the freshmen were chasing was none other than Kirran.

Kirran’s movements dodging the wildly swinging butterfly nets were close to acrobatic flight.

[How’s that! My magnificent movements!]

“Gah! Is this the power of one of the Three Great Divine Beasts!”

“We can’t catch him!”

[Kneel before my majesty! You freshman brats!]

The freshmen made frustrated expressions.

Risinass, watching from afar, smiled bitterly.

‘He’s single-handedly disgracing the Three Great Divine Beasts. That’s Silorod’s son, right? Even he’s having a hard time in his later years.’

Perhaps if the last Phoenix King, who had been his contractor, saw this sight, he might have been furious.

“Wow, Leo. How does your summon know exactly when to pop out when there are no upperclassmen around?”

“He’s not stupid either. He doesn’t act up around people who might actually catch him.”

Leo, who had been watching Kirran acting triumphantly, asked Chelsea.

“So? Is your mana depletion better now?”

“Yeah! No problem!”

Chelsea answered energetically while flexing her arm.

“What about you and Chen Xia? You didn’t even go to the infirmary.”

Leo looked at Chloe, who was reading a book as usual beside him.

He asked Risinass.

“Sia and I didn’t struggle as much.”

In the mock battle, Risinass had exerted influence over the magic screen visible to outsiders.

Thanks to that, the external professors and students only saw the mock battle screen that Risinass had created.

And the students who had participated in the mock battle were currently in a state where their memories of that time were temporarily sealed by Risinass.

Memory sealing using dragon speech.

‘Since it’s not a powerful prohibition, the duration won’t be long.’

Risinass looked at the book.

‘No matter how oblivious this idiot is, he’s quick to notice things in other ways.’

He couldn’t hide his identity for long anyway.

Creak-

At that moment, the dormitory door opened and someone entered.

[Uwahahahahaha! Guhek?!]

“What are you all doing?”

A 4th year from the Summoning Department.

Lil looked at the freshmen with a puzzled expression.

In her hand was Kirran, who had been acting up just moments before.

“Huh? Isn’t this a praise stamp?”

Lil, who had taken out the praise stamp hanging around Kirran’s neck, spotted Leo in the lounge and approached him.

“Big brother, have you been well these past few days?”

“Did you finish your mission well?”

“Yes. I completed it safely.”

It seemed she had just returned from completing a long-term mission.

“Give me that stamp.”

“Yes.”

Leo took the stamp from Lil and pressed it onto his palm.

“Oh! Do you get a praise stamp for catching this fairy?”

“Yeah. There are many other ways to earn extra points too, so work hard.”

Leo pointed to the status board with his finger.

There were departmental scores and individual scores displayed there.

And there, in overwhelming first place.

Was Elena.

In just one day, Elena had solved two problems within the dormitory.

Lil, who had heard the explanation about the departmental war that had occurred while she was away, tilted her head.

“Is there a prize for becoming first place individually? Elena senior isn’t the type to work this hard.”

“I said I’d grant one wish within my capabilities.”

“A wish? Wow! You’re really generous!”

Lil, who had been admiring, looked puzzledly at Risinass who was staring intently at her.

“Is there something on my face?”

“It’s nothing.”

Risinass smiled slightly, closed his book, and stood up from his seat.

“I’m going to go in and sleep now.”

Risinass, who had spoken to Leo, got up from his seat.

“Chloe seems to have a mature charm about her today.”

At Lil’s words, Cal tilted his head.

“Leo said something similar too.”

“Ah. To be able to exude such adult charm. I’m envious.”

Meanwhile, Risinass, who had moved to the corridor, thought of Lil with admiration.

‘Amazing.’

Perhaps because she was a summoner, Risinass found his attention drawn to Lil.

‘Perena in the 1st year. Shasha in the 2nd year. Runba in the 5th year. Eliza and Woreden in the 3rd year.’

They were all talented summoners.

As a summoner himself, he couldn’t help but be drawn to the Summoning Department students.

But among them, Lil was the most impressive.

Of course, Woreden had a stronger impact.

‘That Ain is just so overwhelming.’

The talent to perfectly control fairies was enough to make even Risinass admire.

But Lil was a bit different from Woreden.

‘Friend.’

I can feel the spirits around Lil being happy.

There are many powerful spirit mages, but spirit mages who can make spirits happy like Lil are rare.

‘What an attractive spirit mage.’

Perhaps if he had been reincarnated again.

Wouldn’t he have taken Lil as his disciple?

Risinass, who had been thinking about Lil for a moment, made a mischievous expression.

‘This will be fun.’

A little later.

Imagining Leo’s face that would soon be terribly distorted, Risinass hummed a tune.

***

Thud- Thud-

Elena walked with calm steps through the corridor where darkness had settled.

Curfew time had arrived before they knew it.

But Elena, who was called the Queen of Lumern and a tyrant, was walking through the corridor interior without hesitation.

She didn’t engage in acts like hiding.

Elena, who was strolling through the corridor as if it were her own bedroom, spoke.

“Where are you hiding?”

Elena’s voice echoed throughout the entire corridor.

While searching for problems within the dormitory, Elena didn’t stop hunting other students.

For students from departments other than Magic Studies, she was literally the worst hunter.

“Come play with me.”

Cal clicked his tongue at Elena’s voice heard from afar.

“Wow, that voice is scarier than the former student council presidents who appeared in terrible states before.”

Elena’s voice heard from afar was terror itself, even though she was on the same side.

“Right?”

“Yeah.”

Eliza answered Cal’s question indifferently.

Although they were wearing invisibility cloaks together, Eliza wasn’t even glancing at Cal.

“Is something wrong with you?”

“Not really.”

“You seem upset?”

“Who are you saying is upset?”

Eliza glared at Cal.

“Hey. Why? What made you feel bad? Tell me.”

“Don’t get so close! It’s hot!”

When Cal got close and spoke with a smile, and Eliza was getting annoyed.

“Oh my? I think I heard Cal’s voice?”

At the voice heard right next to them, Cal and Eliza almost screamed on the spot.

Before they knew it, Elena was standing right next to Cal and Eliza.

With the invisibility cloak and Dweno’s artifact blocking their presence, there was no way they could be detected.

Elena was looking around with her hand spread and placed on her eyebrow.

Cal and Eliza, who had covered each other’s mouths, calmed their hearts that seemed about to burst out.

Thud- Thud-

“How dare you play hide and seek with me? Where could you be?”

Elena began walking with a grin and leisurely steps, thud- thud-.

‘We weren’t discovered, right?’

Cal was terrified as he crouched down together with Eliza.

They were on their way to conquer the maze they had scouted earlier.

If they were caught by Elena, she would immediately attack Eliza to eliminate her and drag him along to conquer the maze.

Cal and Eliza moved as far away from Elena as possible.

Just as they were carefully about to turn the corner of the corridor.

They saw a huge and menacing war hammer and froze on the spot.

At the corner of the corridor, Lil was watching Elena with her presence concealed.

Lil, gripping the war hammer tightly with both hands, crouched into position.

Currently the only person in Lumern who could face Elena, excluding Leo.

Lil, a 4th year from the Summoning Department, rushed at Elena who was distracted.

Bang-!

Craaaack-!

Lil’s war hammer struck Elena’s shield.

Objects in the vicinity were instantly blown away by the shockwave.

“Hmm?”

Elena opened her eyes drowsily and looked at Lil who was pressing down on her shield.

“Our cute Lil. What might this be about?”

“Can’t you see? I’m fighting with Elena-senpai.”

“Did you have a grudge against me?”

When Elena tilted her head, Lil shook her head.

“Not at all. But we have to fight anyway, don’t we?”

Crack-

Elena’s shield cracked.

“If it’s an unavoidable fight, then I should strike first. The wish prize that hyung gives will be mine.”

“You coveted the wish? What kind of wish is it? If it’s something I can fulfill instead, I’ll do it for you.”

“It’s a wish that only hyung can fulfill for me.”

“What is it that you want from Leo?”

“I want to be alone with hyung for just about a week!”

“What would you do for a week?”

“Training, of course! I want to train with hyung without rest!”

“That’s so like you.”

“Haaaah!”

Crack-!

Lil’s war hammer tore through Elena’s shield completely.

Fragments of mana scattered in all directions.

“Now’s our chance! Run!”

“I know without you telling me!”

“So you were hiding after all?”

“Huh? Since when were those two people there?”

Elena made an expression as if she knew it all along, while Lil looked surprised.

Although Lil’s hammer destroyed Elena’s shield, it didn’t deal direct damage.

Because she dodged the attack just before it could hit.

“Hmm. But Lil?”

“Yes.”

“For someone whose purpose is the wish, there’s quite a bit of emotion in that hammer?”

Elena grinned.

“Want to be a bit more honest?”

At that question, Lil grinned.

“Elena-senpai will graduate when this year ends, won’t you?”

“So?”

“Before that happens, I wanted to pay back a little for the four years of teasing me. It seemed like a good opportunity.”

“Ah.”

Elena nodded.

And grinned.

“Our Lil has grown so much? She thinks it’s an opportunity to let out what she’s been holding inside.”

“I was always taller than you!”

Lil charged forward at tremendous speed.

Elena, watching Lil with a slight smile, snapped her fingers.

Snap-!

An enormous number of magic circles appeared around Elena.

“I understand your feelings. But since you’ve bared your fangs at this senior.”

Elena curled up the corners of her mouth.

“Even if it’s you, Lil, you’ll have to get a little scolding, won’t you?”

***

Crash-!

“Uwah?!”

Thud-!

Thump-!

Lil, who was blown toward the window from the shock of Elena’s magic, broke through the window and fell inside.

Her tremendously heavy battle hammer rolled across the ground.

Fortunately, she didn’t receive much shock thanks to landing somewhere soft.

Lil got up and sat on something solid while looking at the broken window.

“As expected of Elena-senpai! You’re no pushover!”

Lil, who was burning with even more fighting spirit, suddenly looked around.

“But where is this? I’m sure I flew toward the cafeteria through the window?”

No matter how she looked at it, this was someone’s bedroom.

And the place where Lil was sitting was a bed.

“What on earth is going on?”

“That’s what I’d like to ask.”

“Huh?!”

At the voice coming from below, Lil looked down in shock.

And she was horrified to realize that what she was sitting on was someone she knew.

What Lil was sitting on was Leo, who had been sleeping and suddenly met with misfortune.

Leo poked Lil’s buttocks, which was sitting on his chest, with his fingertip.

“Could you move this?”

“Uwaaaah! H-Hyung-nim! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Lil quickly moved away from on top of Leo in shock.

Leo grimaced and sat up.

“No, what on earth is this situation…”

Whoosh-!

At that moment, a giant fireball flew in through the window that Lil had broken through.

It was magic shot by Elena.

Seeing this, Leo covered his face with his hands.

“What? Is this a dream? What’s all this commotion suddenly?”

He denied reality, but unfortunately Elena’s magic fell precisely above Leo’s head.

And…

Kaboom-!

It caused a tremendous explosion and devastated Leo’s room.

***

Kaboom-!

“…?”

Mel, who was working late into the dawn at the Faculty Building, stared blankly at the massive explosion that occurred on the top floor of the Clock Tower Dormitory visible outside the window.

“What… is that?”
